COME BACK, WiLhELMINAl
Bill Nye Takes New Tack In Solving thu
Servant Girl Problem.
| I0ERSONAL-Win the young woman whc
edited the gravy department and corrected
proof at our pie foundry for two days and ther
jumped the game on the evening that we were
TO have our clergyman to dine with US please
come back or write to p Park Row, sayins
where she left the crackers and cheeses
Come back, Wilhelmina, and be our
little sunbeam once more. Come back
and cluster around our hearthstone al
SO much per cluster.
II you think best, we will quit hav.
ing company at the house. especially
people who do not belong to your set
We will also strive. oh. so hard, tc
make it pleasanter for you in every
way. If we had known four or five
years ago that children were offensive
to you it would have been different.
But it is too late now. All we can dc
now is to shut them up in barn anG
feed them through knot-hole. II
they shrek loud enough to give pair
to your throbbing brow. let no one
know. and we will overcome any false
sentiment we may feel toward them
and send them to the TOmbs.
Since you went away we can see
how wicked and selfish we were. and
how little we considered your comfort.
We miss your glad smile, also youl
Tennessee marble cake and your slai
pie. We have learned valuable
lesson since you went away, and it j;
that the blame should not have rested
on one alone. 1t should have beer
divided equally, leaving me to beal
half of it and my wife the other half
Where we erred was in dividing w
the blame on the basis of tenderlOir
steak or peech cobbler, compelling yot
to bear half OF it yourself. That vii
not work, Wilhelmina. Blame anG
preserves do not divide up on the same
basis. We are now in favor of what
may be called sliding scale. We
think you will like this better.
We also made grave mistake in the
matter of nights oat. While young,
formed the wicked and pernicious
habit of having nights out myself ]
painted for the night air, and would &C
long distance and stay out Ions
time to get enough of it for a mess and
then bring it home in paper bag, bu,
l can see now that it is time for me to
remain indoors and give young people
like yourself Il chance, Wilhelmina.
So if can do any thing evenings
while you are out that will assist you.
such as stoning raisins or neighborine
windows, command me. am nc
cook, of course, but can peel apples,
or grind coffee. or hold your head fol-
you when you need sympathy.
could also soon learn to do the plain
cooking, l think. and friends who
come to see us after this have agreed
to bring their dinners.
There is no reason why harmony
should not be restored among us anC
the old sunlight come back to our roo.
tree.
Another thing wish to write before
close this humiliating personal. ]
wish to take back my harsh and bitter
words about your singing. SAID that
you sang like single mill. but was
mad when said it, and wronged
you. was maddened by hunger and
YOU told me that mush and milk was
the proper thing for brain worker.
and you refused to give me any dope
on my dumping. Goaded to madnes:
by this said that you sang like
single mill. but it was not my better,
higher nature that spoke. 1t was my
grosser and more gastric nature that
asserted itself and now desire to take
it back. You do not sing like shingle
mill; at least SO much as to mislead
practiced ear.
Your voice has more volume. and
when your upper register is closed is
mel!Ower than any single mill ever
heard.
Come back. Wilhelmina. We need
you every hour
After you went away we tried to SET
the bread as we had seen you do it,
but it was not a success. The next
day it came off the nest with litter
of small. sallow rolls which would
easily resist the action of acids.
If you can not come back. will you
please write ard tell me how you are
getting along and how you contrive tc
insert air-holes into homemade bread!
